50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Tigard

“Authentic and fresh tuna bowl made with pride and care. Delicately placed salmon eggs and sliced green onion, generous portions and clean food and kitchen. I will come back. The cashier was mid but the chef was the real deal / I gave him a rose and thanked him. 🙏“

“Anyone can seemingly make sushi seem better by making it more complex, but the real test is whether they can take the simple and make it excellent. Sushi-Ki-ichi does just that. They stick to the simple offerings, leading to an experience that feels less Americanized than other Japanese restaurants. That's not to say I don't love some level of creativity, but you don't need it here. That's because the family that owns Sushi Ki-ichi wants to create an authentic meal - a notion that was confirmed for sure when we had a conversation with the owner. In fact, they take quality to the next level with their equipment and efforts they take to make sure that what they serve is the highest quality, including specific freezers for the fish. We didn't try Sushi Ki-ichi for the first couple of years because we figured that the previous restaurant, a Chinese buffet that had gone downhill and fallen off the cliff, had rebranded and reopened as something new. Now I feel that for those first couple of years, we missed out. This has quickly become my favorite place in Portland. I look forward to any trips I take across town from Vancouver to Tigard, and make a point to stop in and grab a bite.“

“Went here on a whim with a colleague and the atmosphere is gorgeous and refined but has a taste of izakaya to it! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the shrimp tempura maki and the wagyu (from Hokkaido, not American wagyu) nigiri and it was perfect! My colleague had the sashimi bento and bao bun. She fell in love with the bao bun and miso soup that came with the bento. Staff are super nice, attentive, and ready to answer any questions about the menu. I will definitely be back!“

“This place is amazing! The rolls are huge and the lobster crunch roll is a must.“

“Stopped here while traveling and me and the wife enjoyed our food niche little spot for some Japanese food. I'm surprised they actually use nice plates and silverware where most other places would just use the traditional Styrofoam to go boxes. If back in Tigard would visit again. Price is reasonable too.“

“Food are really great. Service are superb👍“

“I saw the negative reviews and was dismayed. BUT when we got there and saw the amount of people who were enjoying themselves. This amount of people would not have been and I was heartened by this. First off the service people. When we asked they were prompt. The sushi filled me up. The variety was astounding. I tried most of their different prepared vegetables dishes. Beef dishes as well. My wife ate her fill of various shellfish and other different kinds of seafood. The little dishes of ice cream was a nice touch for desert. It has a bit of everything for everybody. I highly recommend this restaurant. This is our favorite restaurant. Easy to find. Easy to get to. Lots of parking room.“

“Drop everything and come to this location for their bread pudding and friendly staff! While I normally frequent the Portland location due to work, this location is conveniently closer to home and shopping. It’s the perfect spot to check out for a late morning tea and pastry or three :) Staff is incredibly nice which guarantees a repeat visit from me.“

“Lillia Comedor provided excellent food with wonderful inventive flair as to ingredients and sauces and overall food presentation. Service was both very efficient and very friendly/ pleasant without being overly intrusive. Portions from the Chef's menu were reasonable even for big eaters such as myself. We understood that the quality of the restaurant required a high level of expense vis a vis the quality of the food artistry and the ingredients used as well as the level of service. Thus we had no issues with the price points of the food. However, unless they manage some national write up's such as Kann, which has roughly same price level ( maybe even a little higher) has received I worry that the Portland dining population may not find it accessible given the large number of chef owned mid priced (entrees $25-35) restaurants, which not of quite the same quality are often quite good. So it would be a shame as Lillia Comedor is a gem worth the expense if one's budget can afford it.“

“I picked a lunch spot on a total whim after flying in from Texas, then discovered the best comfort karē outside of Japan. Absolutely incredible, rich flavors that speak for themselves. Nothing is hidden or muddled; the recipe is full bodied, served insanely quick, and with the hospitality of an old friend you haven't seen in years (big shoutout to one-man army Mr. Makoto Yoshino). If you're a veteran that's ever been stationed in Japan, pair this up with Jinro and a Page 11 and it's like you're back in Oki! Seriously though, food was so good I had a borderline religious experience. 11/10 I'll always come here when I visit Portland.“

“Excellent! Fast, friendly service and absolutely delicious food. We had the tempura udon and curry plate. We also enjoyed the sake flight. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Really delicious, and so happy to have a Japanese sandwich cart in Portland. I loved the Pork katsu!“

“The husband and I were on a ramen rampage, and the weather was our perfect excuse. Then, out of nowhere, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was spot-on, the food arrived in record time, and that ramen? Sheer perfection. The broth was a flavor bomb, the chashu was tender and divine, and those noodles? Freshly made and sublime. We left feeling like we just discovered ramen nirvana.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“Of all the cities I have eaten sushi in 40 years including Tokyo London New York Los Angeles and too many others to list, THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER ENJOYED!!“

“The best gluten free ramen. The service and atmosphere are perfect here and I will continue to visit anytime I’m in town. 10/10 ❤️ Wish they had more locations!!“

“The hand rolled California roll was delicious and so was the gyoza“

“Excellent food and customer service!

My fiance and I drove to Portland for the day and made the last minute decision to try out a sushi place. Hana Sushi and Izakaya Pearl turned out to be a lovely surprise.

Food was quick and fun as it was distributed on a conveyor belt. We did also order from the menu (a fried tuna roll) which was also fantastic.

For drinks we got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, one with brown sugar pearls, coconut milk and Oreos and the other with just oat milk and Oreos. The drink customization was an awesome surprise--definitely order a drink from them as it will not disappoint!

We will definitely come again if we are ever in the Portland area.“

“This authentic Japanese restaurant not only serves the best traditional Japanese sushi, nigiri and also some new fusion like Portland Hanabi, Aji 3 ways … we had a great meal and forgot to take pictures! Will definitely come back!“

“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.“

“Super nice counterstaff, delicious takeaway food in a tiny hole in the wall kitchen. Bring a bag and be prepared to eat elsewhere, and watch your step inside there is an unexpected little step just inside the door so be careful entering and exiting! One party at a time, it is a really tiny little place... But you'll be glad you stopped by 😃“

“Great Sushi and Phenomenal Service❣️“

“Umami Sushi PDX Food Cart was such a great find for it being last minute! Our sushi and veggie rolls were fresh, flavorful, and DELICIOUS!!

Everything tasted high quality, and I loved that it was both affordable and satisfying!! Food came out hot fueled with great flavors and perfect balance of ingredients for being a food cart.

Great option if you’re looking for delicious sushi without the high restaurant price!

I would definitely recommend stopping by for great for a wonderful local experience!“

“Had a great lunch here while visiting from out of state. The chicken teriyaki plate portion was generous, the sticky rice was excellent, and the chicken itself had great flavor. What really made the visit was the cook coming out to check on us and chat, such a nice, personal touch. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“Wow! We’ve lived in this area for 3 years and somehow just discovered this restaurant! 😍

Noa Sushi is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Beaverton—or I have to say, one of the best in Portland! 🍣

Everything was so fresh, delicious, and high quality. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. And I especially love that the chef is Japanese—that makes the experience feel even more authentic. 🇯🇵

We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back! Highly recommend! ❤️🍣“

“Fantastic experience! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the Mama San provided outstanding service. She was welcoming, attentive, and made the entire meal even better. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great sushi! I love going here. The fish is always fresh and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The menu has a nice variety, whether you’re in the mood for classic rolls or something a little more unique. Everything is well-prepared and full of flavor. The atmosphere is welcoming and makes it an easy spot to relax and enjoy a meal. It’s become one of my go-to places for consistently great sushi.“

“Stopped in around noon last Friday for lunch. There were about 8 people in line placing orders, plus the phone was ringing off the hook for takeout orders, so obviously this place is popular. I ordered the yakisoba noodles with chicken ($12) and my friend ordered the lunch special ($13) that included chicken teriyaki, 3 potstickers, and a fountain drink. Plenty of booth and table seating. It took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, but worth the wait. The portions were huge, and everything was delicious and well prepared. I ended up taking the leftovers home and still had plenty for lunch the next day. I will definitely go back again to try some of the other menu items.“

“Just moved into the area, decided this would be my first cart I'd try. They do chicken and they do it well! Reasonably priced. Reasonably generous portions of proteins. My only suggestion is cut salad and add more rice! However this is merely a matter of opinion. The important part is the chicken portions are extremely generous. It's delicious and I'm sure I will return! Salad was well dressed without drenching it, potstickers were neither too crispy or soggy, just right. Well done!“

“We love this place! We eat here regularly, and truly enjoy the food, cocktails, service, and ambiance. The black cod miso yaki is our favorite dish - it's delicious and I highly recommend it. The veggie and shrimp tempura is the best I've ever had, with an interesting mix of eggplant, mushrooms, squash, lotus root, and onions - all lightly battered and served with a delightful dipping sauce (pour the dipping sauce on the black cod, it's so good). The cocktails, especially the Japanese 75 and the shiso gin drink (I can't think of the name), are well-balanced and mixed properly, and are very yummy. I tell everyone I know to try this place! Some of the food can seem adventurous if you're not familiar with Japanese fare, but it's all delicious and beautifully presented. Finally, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owner is a very sweet and funny lady. All around, Sushi Kuni is a great dining experience and I highly recommend checking it out.“

“Absolutely delicious! This is a restaurant operated by a Japanese chef and both the food and service feels very authentic.

I loved my salmon & salmon roe donburi and am so glad I decided to eat here before my long drive back home!“

“A good place to eat and in downtown Portland on me 21“

“I have been going here eating in person and doing take out for at least 15 years. In all those years I have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and the service to match. The prices have barely changed in all this time with portions being consistent and great value. Two can easily eat here for $30 or less leaving full and happy. Highly recommended to anyone.“

“I'm a new fan! Best sushi in Portland! Also the service was incredible. Now in my top five favorites�“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“Great food, fast service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Hachi is a perfectly fine, if not outstanding, sushi place. Food-wise, the standout for me was the yellowtail collar, which was bigger and more delicious than we’ve had. But that’s not why I’m posting this review.

Thanks to my wife flagging down a perfectly delightful replacement waiter to order from (thus the five stars for service), we were spared an evening of enduring what may have been a bottom five waiter for me. Before she did, we were confronted with a so-very-cool waiter who stood next to our polite, engaged party of six throwing sour ‘I can’t be bothered’ vibes, without so much as making eye contact with ANY of us (no exaggeration).

To the owners of Hachi; this hire was a mistake. Some people simply aren’t cut out for the service industry, and this guy was exactly wrong for the job. My suggestion is let him go or maybe change the name of the restaurant to 'Sushi and Attitude.' Having him on staff can only tell guests you don’t give a damn about them enjoying their experience in your place.“

“Great Sushi.. must eat place.“

“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.“

“Parking was a pain in the rear, but that's the only negative thing I have to say.

We ordered a few rolls and a chirashi, and want to come back just to try more. The rolls were decent size and the chirashi had plenty of fish, all feeling fresh.

Definitely recommend this place, even in between the surrounding restaurants.“

“High quality jet fresh seafood from Tokyo“

“Authentic Japanese Izakaya found in an unlikely location. The menu is organized for a drinking session with the ramen followed only by dessert, but one can have a great time mixing and matching dishes. More interesting choices include squid shiokara, which is fermented, and considered an aquired taste even in Japan. Come hungry, because you will want to try everything.“

“Sho is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Katsu and his team are awesome.“

“This is my favorite restaurant. The food is superb and reliable, the service exceptional, and the experience is comfort and consistency. I've become a regular because they treat me like family and every visit is customized to my needs and my order. Well done team and Thank you.“

“Dinner meal with wine, sushi rolls, and a yakisoba/chicken main dish were all excellent. And adding to the high quality was the hot temperature of the dish coming right to the table. No tepid food like so many other places.Server was friendly, attentive, and not intrusive. Our second visit. Many more to come!“

“Absolutely one of my favorite teriyaki spots near Portland! The incredibly kind and welcoming lady that works the chash register members my order every time!! That kind of customer service is rare and it doesn't hurt the food/ portions are great.“

“The food is amazing. The service is fast. I always get the chicken teriyaki and look at that picture. That's straight up food nc-17 adult content. When chicken and rice and vegetables love each other very much, they do a very special hug..... and it comes from Mashitas. I can't recommend enough. A++++++“

“I writhing this to let everyone know that Oyatsupan Bakers (specifically Beaverton store) is my go to place. A little background, my wife last Christmas went through a very serious set of surgeries that kept her in the hospital for a month. We preordered the Christmas set thinking we were both going to be able to enjoy it. Unfortunately I was the only one to fully enjoy the set (which was amazing btw) when I picked it up I was upset that I couldn't share it with my wife. Fast forward to today we preordered the 4th of July set . When I picked it up they remembered us! The woman who handed it to me said she hopes that my wife can enjoy it this time because she recalled our previous business. It was such a kind gesture I was speechless and could only say thank you. I have never felt more seen and cared for from any business Ive visited before. So THANK YOU Oyatsupan in Beaverton you made my day and you have a customer for life! 💗“

“Friendly staff fast service, best sushi I’ve ever had“

“What a great time! Love this place. Makes me feel so at home.“
